My alternator died. A friend said he had one I could have. Turned out it was the wrong type but the diode pack was the same so I pulled mine, swapped the diodes and took it to Auto Zone for a quick test. It tested OK so I reinstalled the alternator. Put everything back together and it fired right up. Charging like a champ.
What's unusual? No problems. No dropped/lost tools, bolts, or nuts. No parts left over. The entire process went so smoothly I just had to tell someone!!!

great! That’s a great feeling
about to do a starter change on my X type. Should take 30 minutes to 1 hour . Send those vibes in this direction please!
Must be a full moon - I had an alternator issue in my MGB today. The case split at the mounting ear and I had to use a ratchet strap to hold it together for the drive home. I stole the CS-130D I was putting in my XJS to keep the MGB on the road. I didn't lose any finger tips or nuts and bolts!
